"We don’t have insurance. We don’t always use quotes. We've let our receivables get too high."

Too often throughout 2023 I’ve heard those sentences uttered from MSPs nationwide. If they sound familiar to you, then you need to correct that situation right now--and I'm going to tell you how to do that. Welcome to the next episode of the Technology Bradcast.

Then listen up.

Your customer owes your MSP business a small amount of money, so you file a small claims action and you don’t hire an attorney--because attorneys are expensive, right? But the judge won't let your case proceed unless you hire an attorney.  What can you do?  Listen up.
